AWS Payment Cryptography Achieves Cartes Bancaires Approval

AWS Payment Cryptography CB Approval

AWS Payment Cryptography has obtained approval from Groupement des Cartes Bancaires (CB), France's national card payment network, making it one of the first cloud-based payment cryptography services to achieve this milestone. This approval, along with existing compliance credentials, allows customers to run payment workloads in AWS while maintaining CB compliance.

Organizations such as acquirers, payment facilitators, networks, switches, processors, and issuing banks can rely on AWS Payment Cryptography’s CB approval as part of their compliance frameworks. The service provides equivalent functionality to Hardware Security Modules (HSM) in an elastic, scalable service, eliminating the need for managing standalone payment HSMs.
